Nexus and Hammerhead

I recieved the 3-D “prints” of the Nexus model today. Holy crap… it’s huge! it’ll be an easy model, since the parts shoudl be relatively few… but it is truly hugenormous. Chances are now good that a line of 1/288 launchers will follow… Saturn Ib, Saturn V, others.

Also now in works is the CAD model for the 1/72 scale “Space: Above and Beyond” Hammerhead fighter. This one will be a hybrid of CAD/stereolithography and a lot of good old fashioned stratchbuilding. The CAD part will assure that the outlines are right and symetrical, the hand sculpting will get the contours far more efficiently than trying to hammer it out on the computer.
